As the year comes to a close, I think a lot of us are coming to the realization that it’s going to take much more than a second term from President Donald Trump to clean up the mess caused by Joe Biden.
The Department of Homeland Security announced this week that in the nearly eleven months of Trump’s current term, nearly 2.5 million illegal aliens have left the United States. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has removed just over 600,000, while 1.9 million illegals have self-deported.
That’s great news. But it’s just a shade more than a drop in the bucket compared to how many were allowed into the United States with little to no vetting. Estimates run anywhere between 10 and 20 million illegal aliens having invaded the U.S. from 2021-2025.
Untold hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on housing, feeding, and providing healthcare for illegal aliens. The invasion under Joe Biden’s tutelage crippled our nation’s economy. State budgets have soared while local aid to cities and towns has remained stagnant. Guess where a bulk of those extra dollars have been going. Not to that pothole that’s been a blight in your neighborhood for years now, or to the local 50+ year old high school building that’s in dire need of repair.
America and Americans have been neglected. Our needs, from education to healthcare, have been taken off the stove completely. Forget the back burner.
To paint a better picture, listen to this man who called into a C-SPAN broadcast this week to chew out Democrat Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada over her party’s ushering in of the illegal alien invasion.
Worse than the caller’s chief complaint is Rep. Titus’ cold and Scrooge-like response, blaming him for not seeking out proper medical care and legislative assistance in a timely manner.
“If the MAGA supporters are going to die, then they’d better do it and decrease the surplus population.” Rep. Ebenezer Titus
Reactions like Rep. Titus’s are a hard pill for hard-working middle-class Americans to swallow. We work for every dime that comes into our homes. We pay out to our rent or mortgages, car payments and insurance, health insurance, groceries, utilities, etc., with little to no help from the government.
What do we receive for our faithfulness and integrity? Sluggish healthcare systems, minimal coverage with maximum payments, inflated utility bills to cover the cost of green energy experiments, and so forth.
We pay the most and receive the least.
This has become a weekly ponderance for me. And I often question how big of a schmuck I am for continuing to not only work my full-time job, but to seek further opportunities to make money on the weekends.
I know and was raised better than to think that relying on the government or any handout when it isn’t warranted or deserved is a shameful thing.
But Democrats have weevilled into the minds of lesser-willed people than myself and convinced them that they can take the easy way out. Hang up that work apron and lie back in that recliner while you collect government checks and create more dependents.
President Trump has already put in more stringent stipulations for those seeking to collect Medicaid, and is furthermore requesting SNAP data from every state. It’s a great start, but an uphill climb.
I don’t see this problem of American governmental dependence, whether foreign or domestic in origin, going away in one administration’s time. It has been a generational mindset and will require a generational solution.
Stay angry. Stay unsatisfied. Continue to demand reform at every level. Vote for what’s best for you and your family. Let others do the same.
